Bike for Sustainable Seafood: HER Helmet Thursdays participants also in Seafood Watch

Mari with her catch of the day.

If I’m going to eat fish, I prefer sustainable. And I want to know that my children will have healthy waterways, and a healthy planet in general. Biking is another way to help.

Bicycling helps keep things out of the Monterey Bay that don’t belong there—like oil runoff, brake dust, deposited vehicle exhaust, and various automotive fluids, as the City of Monterey’s Transportation Alternatives has noted regarding the environmental impact of cars. And, of course, biking helps the environment in many ways beyond water pollution; see the U.S. Department of Transportation’s research for starters.

Tip of the helmet also to HER Helmet Thursdays participant Hahn SLH Estates Winery, Soledad for being a Seafood Watch business partner. If you attend a private party, etc. hosted by Hahn, any seafood served will meet the Seafood Watch standards.
